Shitposting: If you cannot post at least a decently formed concept supported by a modest paragraph or so of text, then your post does not deserve its own thread in just about all of the forums here except Trollshido. Posting a link, quoting a whole article, and moving on does not qualify as content. We want to know what you think about it; we really, really do.

He probably owns one of those credit card/razor sharp knife things. Thats the coolest spy toy out there.
